Diarmid is married, but he doesn't have a wife anymore. Not widowed, but he certainly has lustful thoughts toward Michael.

They arrive at the castle and everyone seems to have an ailment of one type or another. Diarmid is basically desperate for medical help since he has tried everyone else.

Diarmid has a disabled 5 year old niece and he feels he has failed his oath to his dead brother to take care of her. Further, he has a damaged hand that prevents him from doing detail work like surgery. He grabs Michael in the middle of the night and carries her away to treat his niece.
